Police Follow A Trail Of Macaroni Salad To Capture Three Burglary Suspects

A trail of macaroni salad helped police officers capture three suspects involved in a burglary in western New York.

Livingston County deputies were called to a Build-A-Burger in Mount Morris Sunday morning after the owner reported that a surveillance system and a cash register had been stolen, WHAM reported.

Investigators were able to find evidence along the Greenway Trail in the Village of Mount Morris. In addition to expected evidence, including cash register parts and surveillance system parts, there was a trail of macaroni salad.

“It was later discovered that the suspects stole a large bowl of macaroni salad, which they took turns eating, along their escape route,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
